Ellen DeGeneres has confirmed that President Trump's re-election was the tipping point that led her and wife Portia de Rossi to leave the U.S. and permanently settle in the U.K. In her first public appearance since relocating, DeGeneres told broadcaster Richard Bacon during a live event yesterday in Cheltenham that the rumors were true. The couple initially planned to split their time between their California estate and a part-time home in the Cotswolds, but that changed after waking up to texts with crying emojis the morning after Trump was re-elected. Ellen said: “He got in… and we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.’” Since their November move, DeGeneres has embraced countryside life, raving about the beauty, simplicity, and civility of the U.K. She’s enjoying a slower pace, raising chickens (briefly sheep), and watching Portia care for her horses. The couple sold their California estate for $96 million and fully committed to their life across the pond. Ellen added that she’s enchanted by the architecture, polite people, and better animal treatment in England.
